Marky Ramone’s owned and stage-used jacket. Black leather jacket by Real Leather, New York–London, was used on stage between 1978–1983, features two US pins on the lapels, a single star pin to each shoulder, zip-up cuffs and a buckle at the waist. Jacket is signed on the back in gold ink “Marky Ramone.” In fine condition, with expected wear from stage use. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity ... bearing the printed signature of Marky Ramone.

Current price: $3,146.

An RR rep told Gardiner that the jacket has been "well maintained and bore no scent of stage sweat." And presumably, no scent of pasta sauce.

UPDATED:

Caution! The folks at the City Room are now reporting that Marky is calling bullshit on this one. Marky says that the jacket is not his! Read the rest at City Room.

To dress like Lady Gaga all you've got to do is go to Subway, ask for two $5 footlong roast beef heros and when they ask you what kind of bread you want it on, just strip down naked and tell them to stick the meat all over your body. Don't forget to ask for extra mayonnaise and maybe some salt and pepper too. You can however skip the vegetables if you want. The whole thing should cost you $10 and change.
